In order to encourage more outdoor play and community connection, the North Chattanooga Neighborhood Association (NCNA) is excited to announce our Play Streets initiative. Play Streets are scheduled times when selected streets are closed to through traffic, creating safe spaces for children to play and neighbors to connect. This concept, already successful in other cities, represents a return to a time when streets weren’t just for cars – they were extensions of our front yards and gathering places for our communities.
Join us for the NCNA All Streets Walk Audit this Saturday, Feb 22nd at 9 am at the Wyatt Recreation Center on 406 Colville St.
Meeting: Wyatt Recreation Center at 6:30 PM on March 27th
Play Streets are happening in cities around the globe!
